Oh, and before people bang on about Vikings not having horns in their helmets, yes I know, and you have this person to thank….
“And despite years of searching, archaeologists have yet to uncover a Viking-era helmet embellished with horns. … When Wagner staged his “Der Ring des Nibelungen” opera cycle in the 1870s, costume designer Carl Emil Doepler created horned helmets for the Viking characters, and an enduring stereotype was born.”
I think Tarzan is in deep trouble. The black hair argument just doesn’t cut it and once they see how he controls Tantor with a stick, that argument is in trouble as well. Next Tarzan will be telling them that his “Hitchhiker’s Thumb” gets him more rides on the jungle freeway with the hot women.
Tarzan is using the wrong finger in response to the disbeliever and wooly Tantor seems to have gotten out of town just in time. Where’s the ugly evil witch doctor who will disprove Tarzan’s claim? Nice fur skirts on those horney blonde viking clones don’tcha think?
A property known to hold for one number holds for all natural numbers. Let N = {1,2,3,4,…} be the set of natural numbers, and P(n) be a mathematical statement involving the natural number n belonging to N such that
(i) P(1) is true, i.e., P(n) is true for n = 1.
(ii) P(n+1) is true whenever P(n) is true, i.e., P(n) is true implies that P(n+1) is true.
Then P(n) is true for all natural numbers n.
For example, we can prove by induction that all positive integers of the form 2n − 1 are odd. Let P(n) represent ‘2n − 1 is odd’.
(i) For n = 1, 2n − 1 = 2(1) − 1 = 1, and 1 is odd, since it leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 2. Thus P(1) is true.
(ii) For any n, if 2n − 1 is odd (P(n)), then (2n − 1) + 2 must also be odd, because adding 2 to an odd number results in an odd number. But (2n − 1) + 2 = 2n + 1 = 2(n+1) − 1, so 2(n+1) − 1 is odd (P(n+1)). So P(n) implies P(n+1). Thus 2n − 1 is odd, for all positive integers n.

Personally, I would wonder where they got the horns, or possibly tusks from for their helmets….

Some guy comes out of a hut: “I’ve got black hair.”
Tarzan: "Okay, but how about me riding the mighty terrible Tantor?
Chief: “You don’t look so in control of him now.”
Tarzan: “Quick, look over there, it’s Elvis.”

“You must prove your identity!” Who does this viking think he is: a police officer? Or an election official?

Thor had red hair. And a number of Vikings had black hair. You wannna prove you’re the Great One, try hurling a thunderbolt.

How’s that for a proof?!" (◔_◔)
